FIC relay cross-ref?

Feb 18, 2006 13 Replies

Relay by asian fmr. FIC, model FRA1C-S (12vdc). Looking for cross to P&B, Omron, anything!



Since it's a PCB mount, I'm trying to find pin-compatible replacement.



Thanks,

You'd better tell us a picture of the relay or what kind of relay it is ( pcb style, numbers of contacts, size , mechanical dimensions, etc..) regards; @+ Matthieu

My experence is unless the relay is a standard base your in for calling the OEM manufacture.

Like the other poster mentioned, no layout and pin out, and load requirement we would be guessing.

Chances are excellent that it's a standard pinout, dimensions, contact rating, and coil resistance (or close enough). Just have somebody who knows what they are doing check a catalog for you.

Ed, sir. Thanks you so much for the reference. I searched much for the FIC web page, but couldn't shake it loose from the 'net. It turned up the PDF data sheet for the original relay, which is of non-standard layout, being an offset-T-shaped affair.

Amazingly, NEC sources the FIC relays for their line which is available in almost any electronics retailer.

Thanks again for your great help.

Doug. Thanks so much for this. I never think to try NTE for anything but resistors and such. I'm shocked that they carry the relay, available at a store nearby.

Thanks again,

Nonesense. It's a not-great copy of the old, and rather poorly designed, P&B T-90. Made by scores of different manufacturers.

Live and learn. Thanks. One more thing to put in my (quickly-draining) memory bank.

Wasn't me - it was Mr.E who gets the thanks. Ed

Thus spake ehsjr:

Ah, I'd mis-read your attribute "Nice link! Ed" as "Nice link Ed!"

Thank you, Mr. E! I'm on the right trail now.
